STFU WE DONT WANNA HEAR IT!!


how about we give bungie our support this time around, instead of always cutting them down on their great games?
Posted by: Johnny Orcface
I'm talking about how Bungie just totally noobed it up. Halo 2 took no skill at all. Will Halo 3 appeal to the hardcore gamer, or will Bungie pull another Halo 2 and appeal to the 6 year olds on Xbox Live?

Why would I want to play on the PC when all the great players are on XBox? If you are so great, why don't you get a 360 and step up.

Hopefully Bungie won't get soccer moms in for testing this time ...


Trust me, they arent.

To anyone who says Halo 2 is easy, why don't you try playing it on Legendary and not the sissy modes that you cling to for support.

But for the most part, filler was used to make it harder. One hit kill sniper jackals. Lots of them. One hit kill melees from Elites/Brutes.

Memorising where billions of sniper jackals isn't fun either btw, nor is having 2ms to snipe them before you get killed and have to start over.

Well, if Halo3 turns out like Halo2 I won't buy it. I'll wait to hear if it plays more like Halo:Combat Evolved before buying it.


I Seriously doubt that you won't buy it because it was "like" Halo 2. I really wonder how many of you dumbasses are really going to live up to you claim.

  • 05.09.2006 2:53 PM PDT

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

Wow, how very mature. I state my intentions and you, a person who knows nothing about me, call me a dumbass and say that I'll buy Halo3 no matter what. No, I won't buy Halo3 if it plays like Halo2 does. Nothing you say can change that.

Try beating Legendary without using swords, rockets or a sniper if you want a challenge. :P Took me awhile to get through that.

Not having a 360, as many people still do not, makes that choice easier for me as well. If Halo 3 is awsome and incredible as I hope it will be, I'll slap down the 500 or whatever it will be to get a 360 and a H3.

However, if H3 does not play as I hope it will (i.e. a diffrent online format, which is the only thing I play when I do), it'll be $500 I probably should save. College is tough on the wallet.

Meh, I'll probably wait for the PC version unless I get a 360. I haven't decided.

Im really -blam!- sick and tired of people like this.

I do not even know how to explain it in words.

All i know is id love to see them in the obituary section of the newspaper.


I bet it will.

Halo CE was great because of multiplayer. Bungie took a winning formula and changed it in Halo 2. Furthermore, they didn't test the game as much as they should have. If they return to the formula of Halo CE, they will have another classic on their hands.

I would not have purchased halo 2 if I had played it first. I won't be duped again.

Please bungie....listen to the elite gamers this time and not hte soccer moms


Yes. Listen to the "elite" gamers, because everything they say is correct. Great! we now have a game where all you have is muliplayer and some sort of -blam!- up "i like it in the ass" rank list, because all the ideas for the game came from people who just care about winning a game. Also so they can justify themselves on some sort of list of scores on a game that "takes skill".


Im not sure about you, but saying Halo CE was great because of mutiplayer isn't a fact.. No matter how you put it.

I loved both Halo 1 and 2 with equality, because what hooked me on halo 1 was the depth of the story, it was intruiguing, and the only reason i have Halo 2 is because it was a continuation of the story.

I wouldn't give two -blam!-s if Halo 1,2 or 3 didn't even require a controller, and you just watched it, As long as it conveyed the story with the depth and quality that the other games have done so before.

There aren't even words in the english language to describe this right now.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA CRY CRY CRY MAKE MORE SKILL PLZ WAAA IT DESNT TAKE ANY SKILL IM THE BEST AND THIS GAMES FOR NUBS LOL I PWn U LAWLLSL!1! OMG NOOB LOL PAWN1!1!1!!11One!1!1"

Oh look, i am lord of all that is rightous and i sayeth that ye halo 2 requires No skill, It is for ye noobs!

Yeah, ok.


Halo 2 being #1 does not mean it's a quality game. It just means it has the biggest amount of Xbox Live noobs online.

I played Halo 2 for over 1,000 hours, so I think I know what I'm talking about, mmmkay?


Yay. Another Lord of all knowledge.

The thing that you said that angers me most would be this section of your post: "It just means it has the biggest amount of Xbox Live noobs online."

To me that throws your personality off as a piece of -blam!-, and first impressions are a pretty deciding factor for many things.

"It just means it has the biggest amount of Xbox Live noobs online.", So halo is #1 because it has the most "noobs" online. Ok.

Thats the equivalent of you entering a competion and getting beat and calling everyone above you a "noob" or using some other sort of lame excuse.

"LOLROFL".

Some may say that quality food is Roasted Lamb over some sort of -blam!- tubro roasted pigs dick with some sort of fish -blam!- sauce. Id say quality food is a nice burger from a Local Steakhouse.

What is a quality game, anyway, Johnny? (There are other portions of the game other than Multiplayer and how "hard" it is to beat)

Id make a wild guess that a quality game to you involves some sort of game that has "skill" or some other -blam!- up bull-blam!-.

Remember, thats just my opinion.


Dude! You sound like a casual to me. You only played Halo for a little while then sold it!

PC version is for those who can't take the heat of millions of other players.


Oh noes, I can't handle the heat! The game is too hot! Watch out! Its on fire! Its so HARd to play a game! Oh no i LOSt!!1 OMG1!!


H1 10X> H2

H2 > H1.
0.o

I must be cool now, i used a greater than sign to represent something that isn't an integer.


I love the kids with e-peens that bridged their way to 40 that love to argue Halo 2 has tons of skill. It has gallons of auto-aim, hideously unbalanced weapons, and the host has such a huge advantage that the game is NOT fun to play at high levels with a bad connection.


I love "-blam!-mers" that think winning a game actually represents something. Omg it has auto-aim! It must be a "noob" game now! It shall never be fun! Oh look! The guns are unbalanced too! I can't even hold them! Look at that! That pistol is SOOO top heavy, its unbalanced!

Your right, though, it isn't fun playing at high levels. I onced partyed into matchmaking with a level 38, and got matched with similar levels. They were all asshats, and it was not much fun either. Of course, the oponnent thought he was the best thing in the world for beating me in a game that i could care less about. I've also noticed that most high levels seem to have a pretty -blam!- attitude also. You talk "trash" about how they are an -blam!- and winning a game doesn't mean anything, they instantly fall back to "LOL U LOST SHUT UP NOOBIE LOL!1!1" Great. Did you not hear the part about i Don't give a -blam!-, and guess what this is a video game? Probably not.

man you people whine to much...Halo 1 ROCKED, HALO 2 SUCKED, and HALO 3 MIGHT ROCK/SUCK


Fixed.


That's HILARIOUS! you changed someboies opinion to match your own and and pretended that they said it!

I'M HOLDING MY SIDES IN LAUGHTER AT YOUR AMAZING LOGIC.


Yes, what GREAT logic, eh?


say give it to Team FB and let them play test it. If those four think something is wrong with it then who else are you going to believe? If I were Bungie I wouldn't let ordinary idiots test it. Give it to the pros.


Yes, don't let the ordinary idiots test it, let the REAL people test it, the people who claim to be related to jesus. The Pro Gamers. Don't let ordinary idiots test it, let these idiots test it. That why the game is catered to a small group of ASSWIPES that only care about beating people in a game that takes "skill", instead of the majority of thier customers.



I can't believe this garbage already. The damn game was just announced. If they took the "winning formula" (which last time I checked, Halo2 sold more copies than Halo1) from halo 1 and put it in halo3...what do you have...Halo1 with nicer graphics. I personaly don't like recycled games. I can't wait to see what new features they have in this game. And if you elite gamers are so awesome...you should have no problem winning on halo 2. The only reason you guys say it is noobified is so you can blame something else for your losing. Get use to the fact that there is someone better than U on live. Your not just playing with your little group of 10 friends at a LAN party anymore.


I really have no reason to quote this other than the fact that my opinions are similar to this.


I personally love All the halos, i think there just friggen awsome.
If halo 3 is like halo 2, great, if its not, great. It will continue the story and bungie will do an awsome job like they always have in the past.

I'm in for the storyline. It won't affect me that much if it progresses the storyline
in a way that will quench my yerning for Halo knowledge. However, it will annoy
me somewhat, Halo 2 was a disappointment compared to 1.

Because some of us love CE and would like the people at Bungie to know that. It's not that I don't like Halo 2, I play it often, but CE allowed me to buy H2 on merrit alone. I did not think H2 was as good as the original, therefore, I think the merrit has been lost, and hope some changes could be made. Giving constructive critisism might not get us anywhere right now, but it's worth a try.

really, all you people that are stilling crying about how bad halo 2 is, i got a great idea for you, since the people that like halo 2 are all excited that we finally have proof halo 3 is coming out let us enjoy this time. if you think halo 2 sucked, still sucks, and always will suck, then go create a new game in which it takes mad skillz to master and a game in which no one cares what you think. if you despise halo 2 then get off the forums for the next week just to give we people that enjoy the game and dont go around getting beat by anyone over the level of 15 some relief

*sighness* Not saying halo 2 sucked. Saying halo 2 was not better than halo CE.
It's our opinion on a video game just as you have yours. However, I'm going to
be nice in my reply and not act as rude as you did in that post. Seriously, that
was just rather uncalled for.

I hear that! My classmates don't appreciate the hotness that is Cortana,
though..her eyes in that trailer kinda creeped me out, but I think that's what
Bungie was going for...

I wonder how her...figure...has improved with the new graphics...

I should really hit the submit button now before I wierd everybody out.
